+ | '''Be bold!''' Wiki articles improve over time with '''your''' help. | ||
+ | To improve a wiki article, you can do any of the following: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *Add relevant information. | ||
+ | *Add external links, relevant forum discussions, resources, or book references. | ||
+ | *Cleanup formatting, spelling, and grammar. | ||
+ | *Remove first-person references (articles shouldn't use "I" -- try converting it into second-person "you" instead). | ||
+ | *Check for technical accuracy. | ||
+ | *[[Adding images|Add images]]. | ||
+ | *Add wikitext -- search for words that can be linked up to other wiki articles. For example, if an article contains the word "rust", you can turn it into a link by enclosing it in brackets, like this: <nowiki>[[rust]]</nowiki>. That will turn it into a link to the Rust article, like this: [[rust]]. | ||

+ | As a Auto Mechanic From what 43yrs ago i can recall working on these small chevy engines; had a bad problem in the mid 70"s for cracking under extreme heat, mainly because GM decided they were going to reduce the weight of each cylinder head by 7 lbs. (i believe it was a 305 engine) Not only that but if these heads were under extreme work loads and heat they also could warp to the point were the exhaust port bolt holes would not line up and i had to machine a long gated 1/4" extra hole to bolt the exhaust manifold back into place. (I believe it was #8 cylinder) |
